We learned back in April 2021 that as this year is the 50th-anniversary of the debut of Kamen Rider in Japan back in 1971 that the first full anime series for the property is in the works. It’ll be called FUUTO PI and is already picked up by Funimation when it eventually makes its way out.
It’s adapting the manga of the same name which debuted in 2017. The anime adaptation is set for a summer 2022 release but we did get the visual to the right released for it.
With nothing else said for the last few months, the latest installment of Weekly Big Comic Spirits has updated to reveal that it’s still on track for a summer 2022 debut and that Studio KAI has boarded the project to handle the animation. The studio recently worked on Super Cub and 7Seeds.
Plot Concept: The story is canonically set after the events of Kamen Rider W (the 11th of ther Heisei era), which aired in 2009. It follows private investigator Shotaro Hidari and the mysterious boy Philip, two strangers who become one Kamen Rider!
